I'm going to try the Programmable Source (Python script) approach (and use <span class="">scipy.io.loadmat to read my .mat file). Maybe I missed it - is there a way to read in this script from a file? (copy/pasting into the Pgmable Source widget certainly works; just asking) Thanks! </span><div class=""><font color="#28fe14" face="Andale Mono" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class=""><br class=""></span></font><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 11, 2017, at 1:24 PM, Berk Geveci <<a href="mailto:berk.geveci@kitware.com" class="">berk.geveci@kitware.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Is there a Python API to read .mat files?
